  I can access my dashboard just fine, write posts, all that stuff. But when I “view site” my blog thinks I’m a visitor and requires my name for comments. Also, there is no “edit post” link, even when I am definitely signed in. How can I fix this?

  Thanks in advance!

  Best bet would be to try this:

  1) logout of wordpress.com
  2) Clear your browser cache (F5 key will do a forced refresh in most browsers)
  3) Log back in and try it again.

  It seems like it might be a browser cache/cookie issue and that should sort it out.

  It’s possible that the “edit post” link isn’t part of the theme. I don’t know the theme you’re using so can’t so can’t say for sure.

  FIrst thing I would try is to log out, clear the history, cookies and cache in your browser and try logging in again to see what happens.

  Well, duh. That was too easy! I cleared my browser cache, and now my blog (using Thirteen) recognizes me just fine, and there’s even an edit link. I guess I missed that little trick somewhere along the line.

  Thanks a lot, Trent and Cornell, for your quick reply.
